[English]

I can't find that distant place you once spoke of

I can't think of how to ask if you're safe and well

The world is in chaos, but what can I do?

Sometimes I look up and luckily there's a moon to admire

So many memories—how can I pack them all in my suitcase?

I’ve been silent and walking on, how many suns have I passed?

Past events can't be rewarded—they're hidden in every street and alley

Cutting it out, yet it still boasts

My words are lies, speaking so beautifully

Saying I’ve long forgotten your charming face like the moon

The worst is忙(being busy) while reminiscing about those old times

What I can’t cut away is your tearful face, it’s really annoying

...

How many reasons keep me anchored on the rooftop at midnight

I've never loved anyone after that, and now it’s just like this

Because I only told half the story with you, so it’s stored in the so-called cloud

Can’t anyone forget the loneliness of someone?

My heart is lying, if I keep going I’ll go crazy

If there's no moon, those days don’t matter

The worst is忙(being busy) while thinking about those old times

What I can’t cut away is your苦(bitterness) with a smile, it’s really annoying

My mouth lied again, speaking so beautifully

Thought I’d forgotten how beautiful you were, like moonlight—unable to cut it out

Because love had already snuck into my heart, as my heart beats, tears will burn

Those tearful faces,苦(bitter) smiles—still so annoying

The moon is a murderer, and I, missing you, am a wanted criminal

Sometimes I’m really afraid to see you in the moonlight

...

[Chinese]

我找不到那個你曾說的遠方

也想不到要怎麼問你別來無恙

世界亂的一塌糊塗 可是能怎樣?

偶爾抬起頭來 還好有顆月亮可賞

太多回憶要我怎麼擺進行李箱?

一直沒哭 一直走路 走灰多少太陽?

因為往事沒有辦法懸賞 隱形在那大街小巷

剪斷了它 還囂張

我的嘴在說謊 說的那麼漂亮

說我早就忘了你像月一樣的俏臉龐

最怕一邊忙呀忙 一邊回想那舊時光

剪不掉的是你帶淚的臉 還真是煩

多少原因將我綁在半夜屋頂上

一直沒再愛一個人 如今就是這樣

因為故事跟你說了一半 於是擱在所謂雲端

誰忘不了誰孤單?

我的心在說謊 說下去會瘋狂

如果沒有月亮 那些日子都無妨

最怕一邊忙呀忙 一邊想那舊時光

剪不掉的是你帶笑的苦 還真煩

我的嘴又說了謊 說的那麼漂亮

以為已經忘了你的那些美像月光 它剪不斷

因為愛早就鑽進心臟 心一跳淚就會燙

那些帶淚的臉 帶笑的苦 還真煩

月亮是個兇手 想你的我是通緝犯

我有時候真的很怕望見那月光中的你
